Default rack & pinion problems

Does anyone have a pic of how the rack & pinion are supposed to sit in a 2000 camaro SS? The unit doesn't look like it is sitting correctly and it is slightly rubbing the factory exhaust manifold. I just want to make sure everything is sitting right. ANy and all pics are appreciated.
Thanks

Is that the difference between the V8 rack and the V6 rack? Or are there two different racks for the SS??

Also dose anybody have any pictures of underneath the car looking upward, to give me a better idea of how the angles of the rack should look.
Thanks

I replaced mine with one from a junk yard and it turns out its a v6 rack, looked and bolted up the same though. No clearance issues with it, although i still have no power steering at low rpm's

Well that answers my question about the V6 and V8 racks having different angles.
Thanks


Does anyone have a pic of how the rack & pinion are supposed to sit in a 2000 camaro SS or a similar year?
Thanks Mike
